have i blown my turbo??

[dasmith83]

if ur like me m8...use your overdraft! lol (gotta love student accounts!)

 

[rashcupra]

my overdraft is maxed and borrowing accounts with relatives

 

[grq]

Less talk more boost

With the talk of bigger turbos remember the clutch will need replacing with something a little more capable

 

[Mikey_H]

yep thats the plan mate nxt 3 months i need to purchase new clutch fmic and then bigger turbo and downpipe thn i'm going to buy coilovers and then thats it won't be going anything else i don't have to lol how about engine internals how do they cope??

 

[rashcupra]

that what ive always said


"then thats it"

sinse ive bought my car when youve bought what you want there is always something else youl want trust me!

 

[Mikey_H]

well rash you don't need anything else mate in my opinion i think yours is one of the nicest looking and fastest mk4 ibiza's i have seen, if you ever feel lik swapping let me know mate hahaha what do you think i should do rash my mates are all saying if i'm going to spend loads of money may aswell go and buy an evo orsomething similar??

 

[rashcupra]

why would you want an evo! personaly i think the exspensive faster cars are common and make you look a bit of a twat! imo! i like slower cars made DAMN QUICK!

all depends on your money if you want something fast and dont mind filing up with petrol then personally id step outof the dark side and get a petrol any 1.8 20vt engine in the vag range and your laughing!

ive spent about £15-16,000 to get my car as it is and it is a wolf in sheeps clothing the look on peoples faces when i open her up is funny! and the bloke in the porsche i blew away the other day down some country roads! his face when it backfired past him at over 13*mph was truely picturess!

ever thought of getting a cupra petrol or even the derv

My Turbo blew on my FR TDI... The car was around.... 5 months old... if that when it happened. There were no modifications to my car at the time either, strange! As it was pitch black i didn't see any smoke etc out the back though. I lost all power, managed to coast to a layby and turned the car off..... wouldn't start back up.

 

[rashcupra]

triple d is it for certain then the IHI? your going for internals and everything arent you? il have to enjoy the few months i have left of having the fastest beezer mk4

 

[Nath.]

^^^^^^ I think your reign will be a while yet rash

 

[rashcupra]

i hope so! cant have some1 else beating me! i intend on getting the clutch uprated again as im getting a bit of slippage in 5th! and tarrox g88 discs and ferodo pads then the diff i wont be going as far as internals and more boost as my pocket cant handle 400bhp+!

triple d is going to have to ruffle up a good 10k for the whole kit! afaik

 

[dasmith83]

mmm...the boost pipe into the turbo popped out today! lol...at least i could fix this problem! lol

 

[Nath.]

yup, 400 bhp is not for lightweights or agency workers

 

[rashcupra]

that is alot of money to come up with in 1 go! and that dont include the car he's buying off the mrs but il eat my socks if he does it

 

[Triple D]

Yes matey, it will be IHI or a garrett gt something or other. Gonna have a word with a mate of mine as t what internals im gonna need etc, as he is getting his cheap.... about £1500 iirc, he already has uprated fuel rails, fpr, etc etc, oh and a GT35 RS turbo

 

[Triple D]

^^^^^^ I think your reign will be a while yet rash

Id estimate it all to be ready for GTI spring festival next year my friend

Well the clutch will be taken care of, as i have contacts at AP racing, so the discs and pads will be also, Diff i may get from JBS im not sure yet, i may purchase through one of our customers at work or from the states. Internals, as i said above will also be from the states or Germany. Suspension wll be through work.Ill get everything done at either Allards or Jabbasport, my car isnt going anwhere near JBS im afraid...

Id estimate buying the car about £8.5k then ill budget it upto £16k for the rest. So it will be a loan for the lot to be payed off over 3 years.

 

[Nath.]

hey tripple d, I have that sort of money and more sat in the bank, just thought I'd rub it in

I'm saving to pay off my mortgage and 150 bhp is more than enough for my bizza

good luck with the project, sounds pretty involved with all that internal work

what internal work will be being done exactly ?

 

[Ad Lav]

Not turbo or super charging the arosa then mate?
